SEVEN2FIVE10 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Does anyone know what size bolts I need to mount the front bumper to the bracket on the 72 510. I took my ride to the hardware store and he took all types of bolts out and none worked. He told me that the bolt may be like a metric half size???. Well anyways links for the kit or size will help. I was not able to keep taking bolts outside to check the fit. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 It is 2 bolts to pull one of the brackets off. Take a bracket in. Or when you pull the bolt see if it will fit the bumper nut too, then just bring the bolt into the store. Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 He means the bolts to bolt the front bumper brackets to the car itself...I could take one of mine out and measure it...just need to get my tools out to my 510. Quote Link to comment

Does anyone know what size bolts I need to mount the front bumper to the bracket on the 72 510. Unless that means bracket to car. Quote Link to comment

I was not able to keep taking bolts outside to check the fit. Trust me I know...I sold him some bumpers but I didn't have the bolts so he asked me and on here if anyone knew what size bolts he needs to attach the front bumper (which has both mounted brackets on the bumper itself) onto the car itself. SEVEN2FIVE10 (Bobby) is new to Datsuns so his terminolgy may not be what we're used to so just bare with him. It's cool that he took on a 510 in the first place so let's help him out. :) Quote Link to comment
SEVEN2FIVE10 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah I meant to the body itself sorry if I wasnt clear. Anyways the guy at the hardware store came out and said it may be a metric half size. Whatever but got fed up with trying to find the size and thread pattern. I have restored strictly American muscle cars and am new to the import stuff so figure it may be different. Mario when u figure it out send me a message. I got the rear bumper on and started a build thread. I need a grill soon too so I will let u know Quote Link to comment

I'll shoot you pics of the grills/emblems/fenders etc for you too. Quote Link to comment

rpowell25 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Get a tap. The captured nut on the body may be a bit jacked. Running a tap through it first will help clean up or out the threads. RP Quote Link to comment
